A TRUE STORY.

Cook Susan could not go upstairs
without Tom, the black cat, close at her
heels; and, if the door happened to close
between, he cried and walled until she
came back. But his greatest dread was
being shut in the cellar by himself. At
last, he espied the door-bell, which hung
high up near the kitchen door. So he
mounted the coal-bin, and walked across
a beam until he reached the bell, which
he rang violently with his paw. Susan
went to the door, and, finding no one
there, scolded at the boys, whom she sup
posed were playing trick, and went of
upstairs; but the ringing went on, and
down she went, irste, to the basement.
Opening the cellar door, she saw Mr.. Kit
sitting complacently by the bell. with his
head turned one side, looking conscious
and triumphant, as much as to say, 81

SAVE HIM FIRST"

In one of the great tornados in a West
ern town last spring, school-house was
blown down, and great many little chill
dren went down under the ruins. Kind,
plying hearts and hands were soon at
work trying to release the little sufferers.
A little girl who wac pinned down by
heavy beams begged the men who were
working to help her out 20 leave her and
save little boy near by, "'cause he's
only five years oldp urged the brave,
loving little heart! The same spirit
moved the noble boy of whom this story
is told:
Some years ago there was an accident
in coal-mine near Bitton, in Gloucester
shire. Six men were going down into the
mine, when the handle of the cart in
which they we're sitting broke, and they
were all killed.
A man and boy had been clinging to
the rope which held the cart, and as the
accident happened they both made a
spring, and managed to catch hold of a
long iron chain which is always hung
down the side of a coal-pit as guide.
When the people at the top heard of
the accident, and found that some one
was clinging to the chain, they sent down
a man to rescue him. The man himself
was securely fastened to the end of a
rope, and had another moose or loop of
rope which he could tie around the body
of the man to be rescued, and then they
would both be drawn up together.
He came first to the boy, Daniel Hard
ing, and was just going to seize him,
when the boy cried, Don't mind me, I
can still hold on a little, but Joseph
Brown, who is little lower down, is
nearly exhausted; save him frs"
So the brave lad hung on patiently for
another quarter Of an hour, and saved
his friends life at the risk of his own

shearing season. While the sheep were
being shoru, the lambs would be put into
a fold by themselves; and the former
would be sent to join their little ones as
soon as the operation Of shearing was
over. The moment a lamb heard its
mothers voice, it would hasten from the
crowd to meet her; but, instead OF find
ing the trough, we'll clad, comfortable
mamma" which it had left a short time
before, it would meet strange and most
deplorable-looking creature. At the
sight of this, it would wheel about, utter
ing the most piteous cry OF despair, and
perhaps run away. Soon, however, the
sleeps voice was heard again. The
lamb would thereupon return, then once
bound away, and sometimes repeat this
conduct for ten or dozen times before
it fully understood that the shorn eve
was in reality its mother.-LittIe Folks.

A MERITED REBUKE.

A gentleman prominent In legal circles
in Boston was recently riding in train,
and in the seat before him was young
and gayly dressed damsel. The car was
pretty full, and presently an elderly
woman entered, and, finding no seat va
cant but the one beside the young wo-
man mentioned, sat down beside her.
She was a decently dressed woman but
apparently of humble station, and she
carried several clumsy bundles, which
we're evidently serious annoyance to her
seatmate. The young woman made no
effort to conceal her vexation, but in the
most conspicuous manner showed the
passengers around her that she considered
it an impairment intrusion for the new
conner to presume to'sit down beside her.
In few moments the old woman, depos-
iting her packages upon the seat, went
across the car to speak to an &C.
quaintance she discovered on the opposite
side of the aisle. The lawyer leaned for
ward to the offended young lady and
courteously asked if she would change
seats with him. A smile of gratitied
vanity showed how pleased she was to
have attracted the notice OF SO distin-
guished-looking q gentleman. "Oh,
thank you ever SO muchl" she said, effu-
sively. 81 should like TO, but it would
be as bad for you as for me TO sit beside
such an old woman" 81 beg your pardon,
he responded, with undiminished defer
ence of manner; sit was not your
comfort Twas thinking Of, but the old
lady's."- Boston Record.

umphs, he knew not whence his trouble
came.
He submitted gracefully to being car
ried somewhere, thinking impartially the
while Of dog-catchers and ghouls; but
when he felt himself hung up by the four
corners, and knew that I" it " was stand
ing beside him, and looking down at
him, or rather at the situation he was in,
he lifted up his voice in three far-reach-
ing yells.
Then the thing that had caught him
went away, and soon Jim's father and
mother, in their own room, had laughed
much, but subduedly.
Jim dared not scramble out OF the
blanket, and he dared not try to arrange
himself more to his liking, for he feared
that the string with which his captor had
tied the quilt corners together might slip
of, and he knew not whether he should
fall feet or miles, for he might be sus-
pended from the strong hook in the play
room, or he might be hung from buckle
on the sword-belt Of Orion.
His legs we're hanging up one side Of
his narrow space, and his body up the
other, and on the whole he would have
given his boarded fifteen cents if he had
never been born. But shortly he fell
asleep.
His mother, thoughtful as women al
ways are for those they love, reflected,
when she had laughed as much as she
liked, that Jim would be 80 cramped up
he couldn't be happy; and two silent fig
ures stole out and placed the small sleep
er in more long-drawn-out position.
The girls, when the dreadful thing had
gone from their bed, lay with their heads
close together under the covers, wonder
ing in whispers what it could have been,
since it was too substantial for ghost,
too awkward for beast, and too fiendish
to be human. They had an uncomfort-
able impression that it was yet in the
room, ready to pounce upon them; but
after time Carrie uncovered her head,
and saw one Of Jims slippers on the
floor, and forthwith assumed that the
transgressor was Jim. The girls had
just begun to remark vigorously upon
the total depravity of boys, when Jim's
three shrieks reached their ears from the
distance, and they covered up their heads
again, this time lastingly.
They went to Jim's bed in the morn
ing, and found that there was nothing
left of him but the place where he had
been; and remembering his loud cries Of
the night time, were much relieved when
his father discovered him hanging in
blanket from portiere pole.
Jim did not tell the narrowing tale of
the good time he had had; he was in
doubt about how to begin it. The girls
told theirs, however, and Jim didn't
laugh as he listened; he didn't even
smile. But all day he had dazed air,
like grasshopper drowned in its own
" molasses." -Harper's Young People.

Come in, Sweet Thought, and stay"
The Sweet Thought said me, mo;

where uncouth inmates come and go,
And back, unbidden, come.
